Great little hotel tucked into a sidestreet a few blocks from the Bosphorus River, Staff was super helpful and rooms were quirky and cool! A/C worked great and there was a Turkish breakfast buffet in the morning. I would stay there again next time we were in the area.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful, peaceful stay in the historic heart of Istanbul We had a truly lovely stay at Sultan Tughra Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff were exceptionally kind, warm, and genuinely welcoming — you immediately feel at ease. The hotel is located in a quiet, historic neighborhood, just a few minutes’ walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Nearby, you can also easily reach Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, Gulhane Park, and enjoy long walks toward the Sea of Marmara. This makes the hotel an ideal choice for travelers who want to explore Istanbul on foot — walking one or two historical sites each day through peaceful, beautiful backstreets, without rush or crowds. What made the stay even more special was the atmosphere: the sound of seagulls, fresh winter air, and scenic walks near the waterfront — a perfect blend of calm and history. Our room was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The bathroom stood out in particular, with strong hot water pressure and perfect temperature, which is such a relief during winter travel. The hotel felt peaceful and respectful. We noticed well-mannered German and African couples staying there as well, and the overall silence and serenity made it ideal for rest. Thank you to Hotels.com for making this smooth booking possible, and special thanks to the wonderful team at Sultan Tughra Hotel for creating such a warm and memorable experience. We would happily stay here again

Very Nice

Nice place to stay while in Istanbul. Very close to the boardwalk outside the busy city, on a quiet street. Close enough to walk to absolutely everything and far enough away to escape the chaos that is Istanbul. Really enjoyed the breakfast and the tea and coffee, lots of recommendations on places and things to see. The one thing is the rooms are small, but there is a closet to put stuff, and they are cozy.

Beautiful hotel with a very authentic touch.

I missed my flight to Minsk and had to stay overnight at Istanbul. I booked this hotel last minute from the airport without much research and never regretted. They made me feel very welcome even though I was a solo traveller, signed me up for an awesome dinner on a boat (I definitely needed it after two flights). Next day I was able to walk around the city for a little bit because the hotel is 7 mins walking distance from the Blue Mosque. The breakfast at the hotel was absolutely delicious. The rooms are very clean and you feel like a royalty staying at this hotel. Highly recommend.

we got the wrong room...

I realize now, a week after coming back home, that we got a tiiiny economy room in the basement, even if we booked and paid for a bigger, standard room (which clearly had natural light and windows on the pictures, unlike the basement...) I guess i was in a good mood and didnt realise at the time but this is really NOT okay. Positive points: the staff is very friendly and the neighborhood is SO pretty and cosy, also very close to the touristic area while being very quiet. Negative points: the smell in the room is AWFUL (i dont know if it smells like passion fruit or cat pee but it´s bad, and since you cant really open the window it lingers and makes it hard to sleep), no space to open our luggage, and on our last day there was no hot water (its an old house in an old part of town so it can happen, and in the end it didnt matter too much, it´s almost a fun memory). Also the TV is not working but we werent there to watch tv so it was ok.
